The work of Discovery Institute and its fellows is varied, and so are the blogs that report on aspects of it--but not diverse enough to cover many of the exciting subjects encompassed in our mission to "make a positive vision of the future practical."
You get foreign policy and defense news from John Wohlstetter's Letter from the Capitol (letterfromthecapitol.com), technology and democracy news and commentary on Disco-Tech (disco-tech.org), media critique about evolution on EvolutionNews.org, intelligent design commentary on idthefuture.com, bioethics coverage on Second Hand Smoke (wesleyjsmith.com/blog/), and Russian and Eastern Europe reporting from the Real Russia Project at Russiablog.org.
Discoveryblog.org will cover the rest, including the views of institute officers and fellows on transportation, regionalism, economics, politics, current cultural developments, and developments of the institute itself. The writer, as is customary, is the only one responsible for the blogs written, of course.
I personally am delighted at this development because it provides an outlet for my own opinions, which extend to subjects not always embraced by DI projects. I also will be able to share news promptly about the institute, its people and events that otherwise might have to wait for the printed publication, Discovery Views. We can't manage a thread for comments, but you all somehow find ways to reach us about the other blogs, and I'm sure the same will be true here.
Thanks, meanwhile, for noticing.
Bruce Chapman, President, Discovery Institute
